R. Baciuška confirmed that the current participation is a standalone event and will not alter the established schedule for the main Baciuška Rally season. The racer’s primary focus remains on the remaining FIA World Rally-Raid Championship stages scheduled for Abu Dhabi and Morocco, where he will compete with the Defender Rally team.
Baciuška expressed gratitude to the Defender Rally team for granting the opportunity to utilize the weekend for additional training. He emphasized the value of every kilometer covered, regardless of whether it is part of a World Championship stage or a supplementary one-off rally. According to Baciuška, such non-championship outings are crucial for maintaining racing rhythm and refining high-level technique, ultimately allowing him to return to W2RC in a stronger capacity.
Looking ahead, the Lithuanian racer is slated to compete in the Ultimate (T1+) category in Spain. For this event, he will represent Overdrive Racing, a private team recognized for its participation in the 2025 Dakar rally. The commitment to these varied competitions underscores his dedication to preparation across the demanding disciplines of the sport.
